Welcome to the Counter-IED Report website, a one-stop source of information and news for Counter-IED professionals. The Counter-IED Report is the leading international subscription-based publication covering the latest developments in the fight against the IED threat. The purpose of the Counter-IED Report is to identify technological advances, as well as strategies and tactics to counter threat networks, reduce IED production and placement, assist in post-conflict humanitarian demining, and capacity-building efforts worldwide. We are committed to providing up-to-date, first-hand expertise and facilitating information sharing among stakeholders, academia and industry. The magazine is published in print, e-book and PDF formats and distributed worldwide. The distribution is tailored to the highly engaged audience of Counter-IED, EOD, CBRNe, Defence, Law Enforcement, Humanitarian Demining and Security professionals and senior decision makers in government, public and private sectors. Additional hard copies of the Report are also distributed at the defence and security events through our Media Partnership Program.
